Starting unprovoked trade wars to extort our partners is actually really shitty foreign policy.
President-elect Donald Trump’s brandishing of tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico and China marks the passage from one era to another: Partnerships are out, and coercion is in.
Trump Returns to ‘Maximum Pressure’ as Era of Biden Alliances Ends
The president-elect is taking a page from the playbook he used in his first term when he sought to restrain Iran and North Korea.

It's disheartening that in an age where knowledge has never been more accessible - the United States is about to be governed by an administration so primitive and ignorant as to believe that tariffs are good and that vaccines are bad.

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.

In Trump II there’s so far only one Black cabinet member: once again to head up Housing and Urban Development.

He understands “urban” doesn’t mean “Black,” right?

He’s such a fucking horrible person. The next four years will be all about HIM trying to get even for the way that HE believes HE was treated. And he’s hiring lackeys to carry out HIS revenge. He’s a horrible person, but the American people said they really don’t care.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Putin invaded Ukraine 33 months ago. Fuck everyone like Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, & Trump who blames America, and not Putin, for that invasion. Fuck the whole MAGA “blame America for everything” crowd. And btw, Tulsi IS Putin. You can’t trust her.

Despite the attempted coverup we’re going to see all of the evidence from the House Ethics Committee.

But no matter how salacious the details are, they will simply confirm what we already knew —- that Matt Gaetz is a skeevy chode.

Finding a 2 million euro treasure in an old Austrian villa is great, but I can't help but wonder if anyone has looked into the family that lived there who hid it just before WW2 and then never returned to collect it...

"Free speech" does not mean we're obligated to hear and respond to every racist, fascist, bad-faith argument and respond to them in good faith.

I have the freedom to choose what I listen to.
Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

Imagine being so fucking insecure that you:

1. Win the election
2. Win the popular vote
3. Have people literally chanting your name like you're Dear Leader

....and you go still want to go after a fucking pollster who came out with a bad poll?

Sure, it's fascist, but its also just fucking sad.
Investigating people for polls you don't like doesn't seem particularly free speechy.
